Unless I missed some very quick refrence the name "Kilmotor Hill" was never used in the show.
Conrelius Coot made a cameo as a statue in Duckburgs park in episode "Duck on the lam" just to be destroyed by Bubba. He is holding Horn of plenty inted of Corn (perhaps a pun on "Cornucopia"?) It's an rare example of an Easter Egg for comic fans in the orygnal show - Grandma Ducks cameo in one episode and name droping "Calisota" in another are the only two others I can think of.
Oh! Thanks for posting that--I didn't know about it, having not watched all of DuckTales '87 --and particularly not the Bubba episodes! But I'm pleased to see their version of the Coot statue.
The painters got the colors wrong for what looks like Goofy (in the hat with a betting slip) next to Grandma as well as an attempted Jaq the mouse from Cinderella (and a few Grandma Duck comic stories). The one in the blue cap with an orange sweater and glasses almost looks like a Beagle Boy.

I've looked at this image dozens of times and never noticed any of that ... good catch! The Goofy-like character is somewhat questionable, but the Jaq and Barksian Beagle Boy characters are clearly intentional Easter Eggs.
I had some daydreams. If I was in charge of creating concept art for the show, I would have set it during an alternate version of the middle of the 20th century were WW2 still went on and I would've made the show darker and edgier and feature real adventure stories with long complex multi-episode plots.
- "What Ever Happened to Donald Duck?!" (which will be the first episode to air, september 3)
So we get entire september packed with Duck Tales episodes! And see - we get at least one Donald centric episode BEFORE the finally.
I hope the payoff lives up to Donald's absence. So far they don't seem to know how to deal with him, but theygave us at least two great Don-centric episodes "House of Lucky Gander" and "The Town Where Everyone Was Nice", so I have hopes that they get him right this time as well.
- "GlomTales!" (september 10)
- "The Richest Duck in the World!" (september 11)
Looks like the conclusion for Scrooge's bet with Glomgold will happen in these two episodes; I see two possibilities for this: one, Scrooge wins but Glomgold gets to keep his fortune and remain as his rival; second, Scrooge wins and Glomgold loses everything, and so he allies with the Beagle Boys in his plans for revenge. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the villain team up in the next episodes turns out to be started by him.
- "Moonvasion! (september 12)... which I can guess it will be a two-parter, like the last season finally.
So the Moonlander invasion is coming, and I wonder how they're gonna handle a battle against a mostly good people. It's not like in "Shadow War", where they fought against an army of evil, irredeemabe shadows, this a people that showed to be quite friendly and whow I'd feel bad for if they suffer in the end. So this might be quite a bittersweet battle.

But remember Angones going on on Twitter about how they're goign to do something absolutely sacrilegious? I think Glomgold is going to win and become the richest duck in the world, at least for a while.
